Tungsten Carbide Plates

Tungsten carbide alloy plates are manufactured by powder metallurgy process with tungsten carbide as the hard phase and cobalt as the binder phase. Featuring high hardness, wear resistance, high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, they are plate products suitable for industrial fields such as cutting tools, wear-resistant linings and molds.

What is a tungsten carbide alloy Plates?

Tungsten carbide plates are precision-manufactured components with tungsten carbide as the core material, adaptable to diverse industrial scenarios. Boasting high hardness (HRA 89 or above), outstanding wear resistance, and balanced toughness, they can operate steadily in high-pressure, high-abrasion, or elevated-temperature environments. Their primary role is to offer high-strength structural support and abrasion resistance for molds, wear-resistant parts, and precision components, ensuring machining accuracy, prolonging service life, and withstanding impact and corrosion. They are pivotal materials in advanced manufacturing fields including mold making, mining equipment, chemical machinery, and aerospace.

What parameters need to be understood ?

Understanding these parameters helps accurately select and apply tungsten carbide plates.

Material Composition and Grades

Category	Description	Key Points	Examples
Tungsten (W) and Cobalt (Co) Content	Tungsten carbide alloys (cemented carbides) mainly consist of tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (Co), with cobalt serving as the binder phase. The cobalt content directly affects the alloy’s toughness and hardness.	Higher cobalt content (e.g., 10%–20%): Better toughness, suitable for impact-loading scenarios (e.g., mining tools). Lower cobalt content (e.g., 3%–8%): Higher hardness and wear resistance, ideal for cutting tools or high-wear environments.	Grade YG8 (8% Co): Commonly used for wear-resistant components. Grade YT15 (15% TiC): Suitable for steel cutting.
Other Alloying Elements	Some alloys add additional elements to improve specific properties like high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.	Alloys may include titanium carbide (TiC), tantalum carbide (TaC), niobium carbide (NbC), etc.	YT-series alloys (with TiC) for stainless steel machining.

Physical and Mechanical Property Parameters

Category	Description	Key Points	Examples
Hardness	Expressed by Vickers hardness (HV) or Rockwell hardness (HRA). Higher hardness indicates stronger wear resistance.	Hardness correlates with wear resistance; HV/HRA are common measurement standards.	Wear-resistant components: HV 1500–2000 (HRA 89–92) Cutting tools: Over HV 2000
Flexural Strength	Reflects the alloy’s resistance to bending fracture, measured in MPa.	High-cobalt alloys exhibit higher flexural strength, improving impact resistance.	YG15: ~2100 MPa (suitable for impact-bearing applications)
Density	Tungsten carbide alloy density ranges from ~14–15.6 g/cm³.	Higher density implies higher WC content and better wear resistance. Pure WC density: ~15.6 g/cm³ (serves as a reference for alloy composition)	Alloys with WC-rich compositions (e.g., low-cobalt grades) approach 15.6 g/cm³.
Thermal Conductivity and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion	Alloys with good thermal conductivity avoid deformation from heat accumulation in high-temperature environments.	Thermal conductivity directly influences suitability for high-temperature applications (e.g., molds, cutting tools).	YG series alloys (used in high-temperature molds/cutting tools)

Specification And Dimensional Parameters

Category	Description	Key Points	Examples/Details
Plate Thickness, Width, Length	Dimensions of tungsten carbide plates, covering thickness, width, and length parameters.	Conventional thickness range: 0.5 mm–100 mm. Width and length are customizable. Tolerance ranges need confirmation (e.g., thickness tolerance).	Common specification example: 100 mm × 100 mm × 5 mm. Thickness tolerance example: ±0.05 mm.
Surface Precision	Characteristics of the plate’s surface quality, including roughness and flatness.	Surface roughness requirement (e.g., for precision components, stricter standards apply). Flatness error range (deviation from ideal flatness).	Surface roughness example: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm (general requirement). Flatness example: ≤0.1 mm per meter (error range).

Processing And Application Parameters

Category	Description	Key Points	Examples/Details
Application Scenarios	Clarify the application field (e.g., mining, machining, ballistic protection, etc.), and suppliers can recommend suitable grades based on requirements.	Different applications demand specific properties (e.g., toughness for mining scenarios; TiC addition for steel cutting).	Mining: YG11C (high-toughness requirement). Steel cutting: YT14 (incorporates TiC).
Processing Requirements	Whether subsequent processing (e.g., cutting, drilling, grinding) is needed.	High-hardness alloys require diamond tools for machining. Confirm in advance if the plate is suitable for customized processing.	Diamond tools are required for machining high-hardness tungsten carbide plates (e.g., for cutting/drilling operations).
